Friends who love this time of year are in their element, grinning with delight - children in bright sweaters and mums in pretty wellies, kicking up leaves on country walks, gathering the last of the blackberries and the best of this autumn‟s rich crop of apples. Hmm! Certainly things have a different feel now, and a day in the village, a cosy dinner in a good local inn, have a very special appeal. I might think about our plans for Christmas too. Antiques, candlelight and open fires The Crown Inn at Blockley is also in its element. A traditional Cotswold inn, The Crown was refurbished last year by Alan Whitehead and Stefan Schmitter, who have maintained the character and history of the old building. As you walk in the door, peeling off coats and rubbing chilly hands together, you can feel the warm welcome the old inn offers. Autumn menus and afternoon tea in front of the fire Using the best seasonal produce, almost exclusively local, is key for Head Chef, Peter Zagyva and his team in the kitchens, creating a selection of fresh seasonal home made dishes for both the Restaurant and the Bar. Autumn has inspired a £7.95 two-course lunch and dinner menu for the Bar, but if you‟ve been out around the fields at the weekend you might enjoy the treat of afternoon tea, served on Sundays in front of the log fire in the Bank Lounge, at £9.95. For a special evening you can book the Bank suite, for private dining, at no extra charge. Organic live lager ale and bitter Alan will proudly tell you that the brewery at The Crown is producing its own traditionally brewed lager ale and a bitter, on site. These are 100% organic live beers, with no preservatives, available over the bar of course but The Crown is also supplying other Public Houses and outlets. Take a copy of Moreton Times or Stow Times to The Crown in October and try their beer free of charge before or during your meal. Sharing good food and wine at Christmas & New Year is easy at The Crown…… Christmas parties offer the full Christmas fare, with table decorations, crackers etc, and a disco if required, with prices from £22.95 pp inclusive – please book early for these and also for Christmas fare in the restaurant, which can be pre booked for parties of 4- 40, with 4 courses at £20.95 Join The Crown Inn for Christmas day lunch, served from 12 noon till 1.45, only £39.95 pp New Year‟s Eve Dinner with dancing and entertainment till late, £35.00 per head New Year‟s Day Brunch Buffet, 12-2 pm, £15.00 pp New Year‟s Day Dinner, 4 courses, £ 23.00 pp High Street Blockley Gloucestershire GL56 9EX Tel 01386 700245 Fax 01386 700247 E-mail [email protected] www.crowninnblockley.com 4 STOW HORSE FAIR Many problems arose as a result of May‟s very large Fair.

  • From the JCR
    From the JCR Issy Stephens, a Chemistry student in her third year at St John’s and a member of the Steering Group, gives an update on how the JCR has been championing women’s issues 40 years ago the first handful of women joined the Junior Common Room of St John's College. Following those trailblazers that entered a man's world, a lot has changed for the life of women in the JCR. We now have a designated Women’s Officer who makes sure that life is no more expensive for women at St John's than it is for men. This includes providing free monthly bags of sanitary products and reimbursements for pregnancy tests. Environmental issues are important to the student body of St John’s, so all sanitary products are organic. The Women’s Officer also organises fortnightly women's lunches, and a recent JCR motion has made all free lunches in college vegetarian to minimise our impact on the planet. The catering team have really responded to this and the variety of vegan and vegetarian meals has increased exponentially. There are, of course, men's lunches too! On 21st February many members of the JCR attended the annual Women's Dinner, which celebrates all the women of St John’s. It was a special event with an incredible atmosphere with different women from all walks of life coming together. In sport, our women's teams have gone from strength to strength. The last time St John's women's football team was seen in the Cuppers final was 2008.

  • Hawks, Ospreys and Students Union Unite for Sport
    EASTER 2009 Hawks, Ospreys and Students Union unite for Sport Tom Chigbo, President of CUSU 2009-10, writes:: 800 Years With No Sports Centre Reading recent editions of The Hawk evokes conflicting emotions. First, pride. It serves as a fine reminder of the excellent sporting tradition of Cambridge University. From the famous names who continue to compete at the highest level, to the thousands of students, coaches and volunteers who ensure that quality sport is played every day at University, College and recreational level in Cambridge. Nevertheless, as readers of this newsletter, you will be more than familiar with the urgent need for a University Sports Centre. Indeed, it is probably a source of great disappointment, as for years you have seen this noble ambition met with so many false starts. After all, land and planning permission (which has since been renewed) were acquired in West Cambridge back in 1999. Fully-costed designs and specifications along with a budget for the running costs (the sports centre can be self funding) already exist. Some of you may even recall the McCrum report of 1973, which originally highlighted the need for centralised University sports facilities. In fact, further research has shown that even our Victorian predecessors had identified this necessity, shown in an article in the Cambridge Review of 1892. However, time has not proved to be a great healer. The absolute necessity of a University sports centre has not Proposed Sports Centre, Perspective sketches diminished over the years. Instead, it continues to grow. It grows each year with the rising cost of pool hire, now so great that the Swimming and Water Polo Club cannot afford a coach.

    LINCOLN FRESHERS’ GUIDE 2020/21 CORONAVIRUS AND COLLEGE LIFE Given the situation with Coronavirus, there is some uncertainty as to the exact shape that this academic year will take. This uncertainty will impact the events of Freshers’ Week, the calendar of events going forward and the academic life of the wider College and University. Even though we will be in College, in-person events and activities will run a bit differently, observing social distancing and other guidelines. The way we use certain facilities will also be different. In some cases, events may need to be moved online, cancelled, rearranged, or replaced with other types of events. Although we don’t quite know how things will look exactly, we are working hard to provide a range of events for the year that fit with various guidelines and scenarios, so that you can all have the best experience possible as you start your Lincoln journey. Please refer to the University’s offer-holder Coronavirus advice page for the latest information. You’ll notice links like this throughout this guide - follow them for more information!
